Screw the Yanks, they got what they deserve! That's for spitting on Lee's wife during the playoffs!

They were never together before.....but my god, the phillies did a number. Give them the series already!

I forgot that they have Oswalt too.

Halladay-Lee-Oswalt-Hamels-ball boy/hot dog vendor, it doesn't matter who the 5th starter is lol

FWIW their #5 is Joe Blanton, but he's rumoured to be headed out of town (being clearly under-utilized in Philly)

Between the second and third period, I checked other sports. The NY Yankees have signed Soriano to be set-up for Mo. Contract is 3 years and $35 million with options to opt out at the end of each year. Wow. If the Yanks are ahead after 7 then that's it. Bring on Soriano for the 8th and Mo for the 9th.

Wow.

Meh, Rivera's old now. Jenks + Papelbon easily counters that!

Wow...tsn is reporting that Vernon wells has been traded to Anaheim for mike napoli. Huge deal!

Www.tsn.ca

Holy Dung, what a huge deal. V-Dub out, 86 million dollars out! Napoli coming in as well as Rivera it sounds like. Jays to sign Damon or Vlad?

Unbelievable. Alex A. should be given the keys to the city for pulling that off.

Looks like it's for catcher Mike Napoli and outfielder Juan Rivera, according to a report on FoxSports.com.

AA can move the albatross and Murray can't make a move??

Rivera and Napoli are all right. Don't forget you can trade $$ in MLB so I won't be surprised if the Jays end up sending some money to the Angels.

Settle down...

Rivera hit .259 last year, Napoli hit .238 with 26 HR.

I guess the Angels were not happy about losing out on Crawford and turned to Wells...

In Napoli's defense, that was an off-year, he's usually hovering around .270. Rivera I don't know much about at all. Great deal, although Napoli is asking for around 8 million, so we'll see what happens there.

I read Napoli asked for 6.1 in arbitration while the Angels countered with 5.3.

Oh, that's not as bad. I read 8 and they were offering 5.3

Deal official now. 86 million reasons to be pleased today for Rogers.

Damon and Manny signed with the Rays.
